\"SYNC<\/a>Woo-hoo! Summer is finally here!
\ntime for road trips, new jobs,
\nWordcount Blogathon<\/a>,
\nlazy days by the pool…
\nso “read with your ears<\/a>” while you work or relax – for free!<\/p>\n

The popular SYNC program returns this summer with free audiobooks<\/a> of YA and classic books, so you can read with your ears at your computer, on your phone, or with any other enabled electronic device.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve downloaded a SYNC audiobook<\/a>, it’s yours to keep and listen to for as long as you like!<\/p>\n

There is a catch, of course – each pair of audiobooks is only downloadable for 7 days (Thursday through Wednesday).\u00a0 I’ll remind you of each title pair and the SYNC download site weekly, but you can also have the program send you alerts by email (sign up on the SYNC site) or by text message by texting syncya<\/b> to 25827<\/b> (standard message rates and fees apply).<\/p>\n

Our first free pair of books take us to the stormy sea – download them before 11:59 pm US Eastern time on Wed, June 5th!<\/p>\n
